Chapter 276

With her legs numb from kneeling, Shen Gonglin changed her position and sat on the bed, starting to shift the blame. Chiyuan looked at Shen Gonglin in disbelief, as if she were looking at a scumbag who had betrayed his comrade. Shen Gonglin possibly be innocent?

Fine, since you're so heartless, then don't blame me for being ruthless in return.

"Just changing clothes? Are you sure you just wanted to change my clothes? Just now, you secretly touched my waist five times, my butt twice, and even touched my chest intentionally or unintentionally... several times. And now your hand is still on my leg. You call this just changing clothes? You're clearly up to no good!"

Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Chiyuan, betrayed by Shen Gonglin, no longer cared about maintaining her image. The girl blushed and began to confess, her previous composure completely gone. Did he think she hadn't noticed what his hand was doing? She just didn't say anything to save his face. Just because she didn't say anything doesn't mean he didn't do it.

"...Alright, alright. It would be strange if this guy didn't get handsy while helping you change your clothes. This proves your charm...which is also my charm. Let's leave it at that. Now you go steam the buns. To prevent you and Shen Gonglin from fighting, he came with me first."

Hi Fu felt a headache coming on as he watched the two people arguing in front of him. It seemed that their original goal really was to change clothes. As long as they didn't do anything more outrageous, Hi Fu felt that he could still be tolerant. After all, one was his clone and the other was the person he loved most. All Hi Fu could do was forgive them.

Sigh, she also wanted them to get along peacefully, of course, just peacefully, not any other more intimate contact.

Chapter Forty-Six: I'm Stronger Than Her

Steamed buns... Steamed buns it is. Even if I'm angry, I can't let this guy go hungry. Carrying the fish that I caught with the Hi Fu, Chiyuan sighed and left the room. Since she caught the fish, it's only natural that she should cook for him. Even if that guy, Shen Gonglin, is despicable, I still have to cook for him. He really has me wrapped around his little finger.

She let out a soft sigh. Why was she so useless? She should have given that Shen Gonglin a good talking to, but instead... Sigh, never mind, she'll worry about being useful later. Filling her stomach is more important first.

"Hey, still looking? I'm telling you, is she really that pretty? They look exactly the same. Why can't you look at me properly? Let me tell you, I get jealous. You can only look at me."

Chiyuan walked out of the room, Shen Gonglin subconsciously looked at her back. However, at this moment, Hi Fu's jealous little face appeared in Shen Gonglin's line of sight. She held Shen Gonglin's face to prevent him from moving, and her red eyes clearly revealed that she was very unhappy. Although the matter had been temporarily forgotten, she was still very angry.

He doesn't need to look at anyone else; he only needs to keep his eyes glued to himself!

Are they exactly the same?

Shen Gonglin carefully examined the pretty face before her. Undoubtedly, if it were a matter of imagination, there was absolutely no problem; the two were practically identical. However, the feeling they gave off was vastly different. In Shen Gonglin's memory, the Class President had always been ethereal and composed, easily blushing when teased. But this Hi Fu before her...

It's good enough that she doesn't flirt with me; in any case, Shen Gonglin wouldn't dare to do anything inappropriate to her.

"Of course they're exactly the same... No, I should say I'm definitely better than her in some ways, like my figure... Never mind, come with me. Talk is cheap. I'll let you see it for yourself before you'll believe me."

This matter is very important. Hi Fu earnestly assured Shen Gonglin that she was definitely the most perfect, and even her clone was definitely not as perfect as her. Seeing that Shen Gonglin looked somewhat unconvinced, Hi Fu grabbed his wrist and pulled him out, while also stuffing the clothes on the bed into Shen Gonglin's arms.

What are you doing?

Holding the clothes, Shen Gonglin followed behind Hi Fu. She didn't know what Haifu wanted to do. The Class President had already gone to steam the buns, and they would be eating soon. Shen Gonglin wanted to wait for the meal and didn't really want to go out and run around.

"I smell fishy, I need to take a shower. And you wanted to see what I look like in these clothes, so here you are. It'll be good for you to see for yourself that I'm definitely better than that guy!"

Hi Fu is a strong-willed girl who can't afford to lose to anyone, not even her own clone.

Hey, that sounds good! Upon hearing this, Shen Gonglin immediately perked up and obediently followed behind Hi Fu. If you had said so earlier, Shen Gonglin wouldn't have been sleepy. Although that Class President wasn't very obedient, he still had a Class President.

——

Not far behind the Tai Xu Temple, the sound of water came from a clear pond. Shen Gonglin sat on a rock on the shore. From this angle, she could see the Class President swimming around in the lake, sometimes doggy-paddled and sometimes backstroked. So even a fairy like the Class President can doggy-paddle? I felt a little disillusioned.

Also, why does she have to wear clothes to swim? Is it because she doesn't trust herself? Looking at the water, Hi Fu Shen Gonglin felt herself getting angry. What's the point of swimming in clothes? Damn it, give me my money back!

"Ha, you idiot, you don't actually think I'd do that, do you? Even I wouldn't be so unrestrained in this open-air place. That kind of thing is more suitable for bed at night. Besides, I'm just washing my clothes while I'm at it. These clothes have a fishy smell. Although I can use my true energy... or you could say Honkai energy to clean them directly, I still feel that washing them with water is cleaner. Shen Gonglin, are you sure you don't want to come and wash them?"

Noticing Shen Gonglin's expression on the shore, Hi Fu in the lake chuckled and explained to him, "Did he think I'd give him a treat so easily? This is his punishment! Who told him to be so close to his clone just now? Now he's going to experience what it's like to not be able to see or touch what you want." Seeing Shen Gonglin's current frustrated look, Hi Fu reached out and beckoned to him with his finger, "Swimming together would probably sound pretty good."

"No, I'm afraid the water will be too cold."

Shen Gonglin shook her head in refusal. In fact, let alone the fact that the water was cold, this guy couldn't swim at all. He was a complete landlubber and couldn't stand water that was deeper than his chest. But with such a perfect image, how could she honestly admit that she couldn't swim? So Shen Gonglin's attitude was very aloof. She didn't go into the water because it was cold, not because she couldn't swim.

Seeing Hi Fu bobbing up and down on the water, I knew the lake must be very deep. What if I went in and drowned? Even though she would definitely save me, that would be too embarrassing.

"Hmm, that's true. The water is a bit cold, but there seems to be a hot spring in Mount Tai Xu. It's just a bit far from here. Let's go there for a soak next time we have the chance. In that case, I'm almost ready."

Seeing that Shen Gonglin had no intention of going into the water, Hi Fu didn't force her. The lake water in the mountains was indeed a bit cold, but it didn't affect someone like her who practiced martial arts much. However, Shen Gonglin might not be able to handle it. This guy's constitution was a bit weak, and if he went into the water, he might catch a cold. Although the two Fu Hua had completely different personalities, they were surprisingly consistent when facing Shen Gonglin. They had to take good care of this guy; he was quite delicate.

Slowly swimming to the shore, Hi Fu emerged from the water, her wet clothes clinging tightly to her body, displaying the girl's slender and exquisite curves to Shen Gonglin's eyes. Although her chest might be a little lacking, the Class President's figure was still the kind that was one in a million. Just for that, Shen Gonglin felt that her trip had not been in vain.

"Phew... It feels so good to take a bath. Shen Gonglin, give me the clothes. Didn't you want to see me in this outfit? Well then, I'll show you."

Chapter Forty-Seven

She had already turned her head away with great restraint, after all, Shen Gonglin considered herself a person of propriety. What if she kept staring at Hi Fu and accidentally drooled? So Shen Gonglin had always been very self-disciplined. But when she heard Hi Fu say that, Shen Gonglin couldn't hold back anymore.

Sure enough, this Class President is much braver than the one Class President's currently starting a fire to steam buns. Before I could even say anything, she just naturally took the initiative to speak up in front of me. It seems that if I want to have some fun, I'll have to rely on her.

"Actually, I don't really want to see it either... Of course, if you're free now, you can show it to me, but this isn't something I actively wanted to see; it's just an accident and a coincidence."

Rin's awkward and tsundere demeanor instantly struck a chord with Hi Fu. She shook her head, amused. Fine, fine, whatever Shen Gonglin said, she just wanted him to see it. Was that alright? Seeing this guy so intimate Shen Gonglin her clone, Feather, Hi Fu felt that as the real body, she couldn't fall behind. So, this was her little effort. Being jealous of her clone, Feather... she really was...

"I understand."

Hi Fu casually replied, and then she took off her wet clothes, revealing her figure in the sunlight. Her fair skin looked crystal clear under the light, making people want to take a bite. The girl boldly displayed herself in front of Shen Gonglin. Just as she said, she did not feel that there was anything shameful about her body. She was the strongest and most beautiful person in the world.

However, if she could take off this underwear as well, then Shen Gonglin would feel truly invincible.

"And, there's this and that too."

Shen Gonglin feasted his eyes on the ice cream, then pointed up and down at the white underwear on Hi Fu's body. Sure enough, the Class President didn't need a bra. A simple plain white tube top was enough for her. In St. Freya, probably only she and Bronya could afford such a thing.

As for Theresa ... I can't think about it, I can't think about it. Shen Gonglin felt that it would be too perverted of her to imagine her.

"Huh? What are you talking about? I'm not an exhibitionist. This is enough. If you want to see more, I'll show you the rest when we get back to bed tonight. Do you think I don't have a sense of shame? This is enough for you. Shen Gonglin, don't push your luck."

Reaching out, Hi Fu tapped Shen Gonglin's head and scolded her in an annoyed tone. Although she looked normal now as if nothing had happened, she was actually shy. It was fine as it was now, but taking off her underwear would be a bit much. Besides, this was not something that should be done in the middle of nowhere. You should do what you are supposed to do in what you are supposed to do.

That kind of thing should obviously be done in bed.

"No, I just noticed your clothes are all wet. Be careful not to catch a cold. Why don't you take them off and let me help you dry them?"

Shen Gonglin blinked her eyes, looking at Hi Fu with genuine concern. How could she misunderstand her? She just wanted to dry Hai Fu's clothes, not to see any beautiful scenery. With the Class President's condition, Shen Gonglin felt that she could probably reach Hai Fu's level by punching herself in the chest a few times. What was there to see?

That's what she said, but Shen Gonglin's gaze never left the Class President for a single moment.

"Drying? No need for that. Just circulate your true energy a little... See, it's dry now. If you don't believe me, touch it, there's not a trace of water left."

Drying it by air is too troublesome. So-called power is something that makes things convenient for oneself. Manipulating true energy, which is Honkai energy, Hi Fu quickly dried her underwear. Afraid that Shen Gonglin wouldn't believe her, Miss Hi Fu even puffed out her chest and raised her head to show Shen Gonglin with her hand that it was absolutely clean and dry.

"Really? You're amazing."

Shen Gonglin wasn't a reserved person; on the contrary, he always considered himself a carnivore. Although no one believed him, Shen Gonglin still felt that a fierce beast lurked within him. Since she had invited him, Shen Gonglin was determined to try it himself. He gently touched the Class President's clothes, and they were indeed completely dry. That was really amazing.

"Hehe, of course it is. The current me is completely different from the former me. This is the best version of me... Hey, Shen Gonglin, just try it once. If you keep trying, I'll have to call for help."

She proudly puffed out her chest and held her head high, feeling very comfortable after being praised by Shen Gonglin Hi Fu. However, the strange sensation in her body made her somewhat embarrassed and angry, so she slapped away Shen Gonglin's restless paw. He actually dared to touch her? This guy is no good child.

"Go ahead and scream, scream until your throat is hoarse... Uh, it's okay, it's okay. Didn't you want to change your clothes? Hurry up and change."

Subconsciously, she began to get into character, and then Shen Gonglin realized that there were more than just herself and Hi Fu on Mount Tai Xu. This was not a hotel where the two of them could be alone. The Class President was still there, and no one knew when she would appear. If she saw her touching Fu Hua in front of her, the Class President would definitely be angry, given her petty nature.

As for why she's considered petty... with such a flat chest, what else could she be but petty?

Realizing this, Shen Gonglin returned to his gentlemanly nature. He solemnly handed the Daoist robe that was placed aside to Hi Fu. Then, under Shen Gonglin's regretful gaze, the slightly complicated clothes gradually covered the girl's fair and dazzling skin. So this is how the Class President looks in this clothes. It has a different charm. She can wear it more often in the future.

"Look, Shen Gonglin, this is the outfit I wore when I was a hermit. Isn't it beautiful?"

Barefoot on the stones, Hi Fu spread her arms and twirled in front of Shen Gonglin to show him. As soon as she opened her mouth, her original ethereal and otherworldly aura vanished. The girl swayed left and right, looking at her clothes. It had been a long time since she had worn these clothes, but they still suited her so well.

After all, this figure... hasn't changed much in tens of thousands of years.

It's ruined. Originally, when she put on this outfit, Shen Gonglin was amazed. It had a kind of ancient and historical feel to it. Shen Gonglin felt like she was really seeing a hermit immortal. But her words brought Shen Gonglin back to reality. There's no such immortal.

Chapter Forty-Eight Suitable

"What's wrong? Didn't you tell me to wear it? The way you're looking at me now... do you want me to pinch your cheek?"

Instead of receiving the expected praise, Hi Fu looked up and saw Shen Gonglin's strange gaze. The girl immediately grabbed Shen Gonglin's face angrily. What was going on? Did his gaze mean that she wasn't pretty? These were clearly her clothes, and they should suit her perfectly. What did Shen Gonglin's reaction mean?

"You've already pinched it... Class President, I feel this outfit doesn't suit you very well. It's not that it's not pretty, it's just... something just doesn't feel right. If that other Class President wore it, it would probably suit you better."

Shen Gonglin quickly pulled away from Hi Fu's hand, her cheeks almost red from being pinched. He rested his chin on his hand and began to critique the girl in front of him. Pretty? Undoubtedly pretty. So pretty that it's not about the clothes choosing the person. Even if they were wearing a burlap sack, they would look like models. It's just that the image of this outfit doesn't quite suit her. This ethereal and otherworldly demeanor is definitely more suitable for the calm and composed Class President.

"Really? It seems that's true... Never mind, I wasn't right in the past, and a lot of things seem inexplicable to me now. Anyway, as long as it looks good, that's all that matters. Don't say it doesn't look good. Let's go home and eat. That guy should have steamed the buns by now."

Hi Fu scratched her head. Maybe what Shen Gonglin said was true, but she didn't really care. That was all in the past. The present version of herself was the best. She was especially confident in this. The girl lifted her skirt, sat on a rock, and put on her shoes. These were all unimportant things. Eating was the more important thing. After eating, she would wander around Mount Tai Xu to collect some feathers, and then she would have to think about fighting against the Honkai.

There are still many things waiting for me.

Stare...

An eerie atmosphere spread across the dining table at Tai Xu Temple. Hi Fu enjoying her meal; the feathers were actually quite good at cooking, perfectly edible. She wasn't the type to be picky about food; as long as it filled her stomach, she was fine with it, even if it was just simple fare. However, while she was eating happily, Shen Gonglin found herself unable to enjoy her food. All of this undoubtedly stemmed from the third person at the table.

The Immortal Chiyuan's crimson eyes were fixed on Shen Gonglin. Her gaze flickered slightly over Hai Fu, who was munching on a large white steamed bun. She recognized the clothes Hi Fu was wearing all too well—it was the same outfit Shen Gonglin had tried to force onto her, and now it was on her...

Considering that she couldn't find the two of them after putting the steamed buns in the pot, there was no doubt that this guy must have done something to betray her. Chiyuan didn't say it, but that didn't mean she didn't know. The fairy girl stared at Shen Gonglin with an extremely oppressive gaze. If this guy had any conscience, he would definitely feel ashamed.

While he was struggling to start the fire and cook, the two of them went off to do fun things. What, if he can't get what he wants from himself, does he have to get it from other girls? When did Shen Gonglin become such a scumbag?

Or has he always been this scumbag?

Shen Gonglin, however, was somewhat hesitant to meet Chiyuan's gaze. For some inexplicable reason, he felt incredibly guilty, as if he were a bad man who had wronged his wife. Shen Gonglin couldn't understand why this was happening.

"Shen Gonglin, hurry up and eat. Didn't you just say you were hungry?... Don't look at her. She's just a consciousness residing in a feather. She doesn't need to eat. Here, let me put a steamed bun on your plate. I didn't expect that this Spring Immortal can still be eaten. I was so farsighted to preserve her using the secret method back then."

While they were enjoying their meal, Hi Fu noticed that Shen Gonglin hadn't touched her chopsticks and handed him her half-eaten steamed bun. She knew that this simple meal with pickled vegetables might not suit Shen Gonglin's taste, but there was nothing she could do about it; these were the conditions. Let Shen Gonglin experience the bitterness of hardship today. Besides, Hi Fu thought it tasted pretty good.

"Ah... eat, eat, I'll eat now..."

Holding the steamed bun, Shen Gonglin was about to open his mouth when a sharp gaze from the other side left him at a loss. Chiyuan stared intently at Shen Gonglin, the meaning in her eyes was crystal clear: if he dared to eat it, he would be dead. But he already had the bun in his hand; what should he do if he didn't eat it?

In her interactions with Shen Gonglin, Fu Hua, who had always been quiet and indifferent, underwent a slight change. In the past, she would never have thrown such a tantrum, but now she felt that it was nice to throw a little tantrum now and then.

"I can eat. If I want to solidify, it can be done in about half an hour. Whether it's eating or anything else, there's no problem."

Reaching out, Akane took the steamed bun from Shen Gonglin's hand, opened Chiyuan mouth and took a bite. The salty flavor of the spring-like bun, combined with the freshly steamed bun, filled her mouth with fragrance. She used to eat it like this all the time, and it still tasted the same as before... In short, she couldn't let Shen Gonglin eat anything that guy had eaten!

"Oh..."

Shen Gonglin chuckled dryly, then took another steamed bun. It had such a fancy name, "Spring Never Fades"... but it was probably just pickled vegetables, right? Looking at the bright green pickled vegetables, Shen Gonglin remembered eating this dish with Fu Hua on a train a long time ago. He remembered that the two of them had stomach aches back then. Thinking about it now, it felt like it was a long time ago.

The pickled vegetables were sandwiched in the middle, and after biting into both sides, they tasted really good. Shen Gonglin, who was already very hungry, suddenly had a big appetite. Inside the small house, the three of them began to eat. I don't know why the Class President emphasized that she could condense a physical form. This is clearly an act that consumes a lot of energy. But she must have a deeper meaning in doing so.

Stealing a glance at Chiyuan, who was eating quietly, and sensing that she wasn't as angry as she seemed, Shen Gonglin relaxed as well. That's just how she is; even when she's angry, it doesn't last long. It felt like it had been a long time since she'd felt this relaxed. Holding her steamed bun, Shen Gonglin ate it bite by bite. Ah, at times like this, if only there were some meat...

The Chiyuan fish that Hi Fu caught before doesn't seem to have moved at all. Why is that?

Chapter 49 Which one do you like?

As the saying goes, when you're full and warm, you think about... well, no, I mean, when you're full, you want to sleep. That's exactly what Shen Gonglin felt right now. Before they knew it, it was getting late. Jingu Shen Gonglin and the others originally wanted to wander around Mount Tai Xu and collect some of the unimportant feathers that Fu Hua had left behind, but looking at the sky outside, Hi Fu decisively gave up on that idea.

Who can blame her for being so capricious? Shen Gonglin is unfamiliar with the place and the people, Chiyuan has no say, so whatever decision she makes has to be made by this Hi Fu. She does whatever she says, and now Hi Fu is feeling sleepy.

"Hey, old man, go make my bed. Get some rest tonight and recharge before you start looking for feathers tomorrow. You've done so much today, you need to balance work and rest."

After eating and drinking their fill, Hi Fu naturally ordered Chiyuan to do chores for him. The three of them were now standing in the master bedroom of Tai Xu Temple. This was where Fu Hua had lived a long time ago, and now it was like revisiting an old haunt. By the way, this was the same room where Shen Gonglin had forced Chiyuan to change her clothes.

"... Now is not the time to rest."

Chiyuan shook her head, wanting to refuse. Although she was quiet and unambitious, being ordered around like this was still very unpleasant. Moreover, this guy seemed a bit lazy. If it were her, she would never use such precious time to rest.

"What's it to you? Which of us is the real Fu Hua? I can do whatever I want. Right now, I want to rest. Are you going to help me make my bed or not?!"

Why does this clone always go against me? She's so disobedient. Can't she just listen to me like the other feathers? Hi Fu raised an eyebrow, slightly wanting to forcibly take this feather back. Not only does she not listen to me, but she also often tries to seduce Shen Gonglin. I don't have such a disobedient feather!

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, I'll make the bed, I can do it, it's no big deal, I can do it... Um, Class President, whoever it is, one of you two, please save me!"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Shen Gonglin quickly stepped in as a peacemaker. Fu Sansui? At this moment, Shen Gonglin felt incredibly mature. The two Class President didn't get along at all; they had already been quite hostile during dinner. Class President Hi Fu had a very direct and fiery temper, while Class President Chiyuan, although she looked ethereal, often clashed with Class President Hi Fu. Shen Gonglin stood in their way and stopped their argument. Then, Shen Gonglin offered to help make the bed. However, this self-proclaimed mature Shen Gonglin Shingu had no idea what was going on.

Is making the bed something he can actually do?

Speechless, the two Class President fell silent as they watched the person who had stuffed himself into the duvet cover. Finally, they both sighed in unison and silently stepped forward to help rescue Shen Gonglin from the cover. They felt uneasy about having to help this person who couldn't take care of himself.

"Alright, let's rest for today. Shen Gonglin, I'll take you to the guest room."

With the combined efforts of the three... or rather, thanks to Shen Gonglin's mischief, the two Class President finally managed to make Tai Xu Temple bed. With no intention of vying for the master bedroom with Hi Fu, Chiyuan prepared to take Shen Gonglin away. In fact, Tai Xu Temple only had this one bedroom for sleeping, and she planned to make a place for Shen Gonglin to rest elsewhere. Since she had said she wanted to rest, that was the only option.

"What's wrong? Do we need to find another place? Isn't my bed big enough? Shen Gonglin, this is where you sleep. You're not allowed to go anywhere else."

However, how could Hi Fu allow Chiyuan to take Shen Gonglin away? They had stayed together in a love hotel before, and now that they were back in their hometown, they wanted to sleep in separate rooms? That didn't make sense. Hi Fu grabbed Shen Gonglin's arm and pulled him onto the bed. Although it wasn't as big as a hotel bed, it was more than enough for the two of them.

"...This won't work, he won't agree..."

"This is bullying me to my face!" Chiyuan frowned at Hi Fu, but before she could finish speaking, Hi Fu waved his hand at her. A mysterious force swept across Chiyuan's body, cutting off the supply of Honkai energy. Chiyuan transformed back into a stubborn feather and floated in the air. Hi Fu grabbed the feather and put it into his body. Although she was unwilling to return her power and memories to him, he could still keep her in this state temporarily. It didn't matter during the day, but when he slept at night, Hi Fu still didn't like this third party interfering.

"Phew, that annoying old fogey is finally gone. Shen Gonglin, she just said you didn't want to, I bet she was lying. If you didn't want to, I'll beat you until you did. Besides, you don't want that guy to know what we did in the hotel, do you?"

Hi Fu grinned at Shen Gonglin. Faced with such an obvious threat, Shen Gonglin, who was about to say something, stopped pretending and obediently took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed. After all, this was the only place with a bed, and where else could he sleep?

"Mua~ So good! You're nothing like that old fogey. She's so disobedient and even said I'm not the real Fu Hua... Shen Gonglin, tell me, if I weren't the real Fu Hua, how could I do something like this to you?"
